LYN SQUIRE spent his early years in South Wales before moving to the US in 1972. During a twenty-five-year career at the World Bank, he published over thirty articles and several books on development and poverty, and was lead author for World Development Report, 1990, which introduced the metric - a dollar a day - that is still used to measure poverty worldwide. Lyn was also the founding president of the Global Development Network, an organization dedicated to supporting promising scholars from the developing world. He now devotes his time to writing. His debut novel, Immortalised to Death, published by Level Best Books in September 2023, introduced Dunston Burnett, a non-conventional amateur detective. It was a First Place Category Winner in the Mystery and Mayhem Division of the Chanticleer International Book Awards. Dunston's adventures continued in Fatally Inferior, published by Level Best Books in December 2024 and, sadly, come to an end in The Séance of Murder, the final book in The Dunston Burnett Trilogy. Lyn lives in Virginia with his wife and two dogs.
